The Curriculum
The Alleyn’s curriculum is designed to equip students with an excellent academic education alongside the knowledge, skills and character they need to flourish in the wider world, both now and in the future.
Games and The Arts
Thriving programmes for sports, DofE, CCF, volunteering, and all the arts. Every day there are opportunities to discover passions and ignite curiosity on the journey to finding students’ ‘thing’, whether on the pitch, the stage or the page.
Pastoral Care
Alleyn’s believes that proactive pastoral care is what works, offering pupils a range of tools including modern evidence-based approaches for managing their own wellbeing and creating the space for them to enjoy their childhood.
University Places
Leavers go to Oxbridge, Russell Group and other prestigious universities in the UK and around the world.
Head Teacher’s Philosophy
We have created a manifesto which fully reflects what we stand for today: https://www.alleyns.org.uk/about/alleyns-manifesto. The motto arising from that is ‘All We Can Be’, which sums up our approach very well.
Outstanding Characteristics
Alleyn’s is where 400 years of heritage, tradition and resourcefulness meet the liberal, exciting energy of south east London – it is dynamic, enterprising, creative, and full of fun. The school focuses on character, and its ROCCK (Respect, Opportunity, Curiosity, Courage and Kindness) values are central to supporting young people so they can go on to positively impact the world around them.
